Akiko Wakabayashi

Akiko Wakabayashi was born 26 August 1941) is a Japanese former actress. She is best known in English-speaking countries for her role as Bond girl Aki in the 1967 James Bond movie You Only Live Twice. Before this, she had made many movies in her native Japan, especially Toho Studio's monster movies, such as Dagora, the Space Monster and Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, both of which were also released under various other titles. When production of You Only Live Twice began, Wakabayashi was originally slated to play the role of Kissy Suzuki whilst her co-star Mie Hama played Suki, one of Tiger Tanaka's top agents. When learning English proved to be a major hurdle to Hama, the women switched roles, with Hama now playing the smaller part of Kissy and Wakabayashi playing the larger part of Suki. At her suggestion, the character of Suki was renamed Aki. Now the site has increased the depth and size I have gone back to most of my portraits and either re-drawn them or finished them off better. I wanted a different look so done quicker with watercolour crayon W/pencil and W/paint, I love painting or drawing on paper 300 gm size A3 paper.
